Examples of Super Finishers include Rhea Ripley's Avalanche Riptide, Roman Reigns Superman Punch Spear Combo and Seth Rollins Diving Curbstomp.

During the match players can use the ambulance to thier advantage and perform special carry and environmental moves, climb the ambulance and win in a variety of ways, including backstage in the parking lot.
Also featured in this video is footage of new 4 player backstage brawls featuring several new additions to the backstage area, including breakable windows, vending machines, and a working evelator.

my biggest complaint with 40 Years of wrestlemania is i'm worried that its just 30 years of wrestlemania with new matches from Wrestlemania 30-40 I Just hope they add new matches that weren't in The 30 years of wrestlemania mode
"I was fighting one of the opponents and out of nowhere I got hit with a flying trash can" lmao 😂😂😂. Made me choke on my drink, cant stop laughing
Ramp view, standing on announce table, ambulance matches, trading blows and even more. I need my hands on this game.

The titantrons playing during the Rumble matches is a gamechanger. I’ve been sick of Rumbles but this has refreshed that match for me greatly.
We can finally climb announced tables again. Last time we were able to do that was 2 gens ago 😮
That trading blows system looks very fun, I also love that you can do moves on the announce table without having an OMG. I’m glad that “ Lil Natch “ Charles Robinson is in the game 🔥

Whilst I'm not a fan of the use of real footage in Showcase, I'm at least happy to hear that the narration has come back. What I'm not happy about is that apparently the modes only going to have 21 matches in it. Like come on, it's 40 years of Wrestlemania, I was expecting at least one match from each Mania.

Rick Rude officially in the game is a huge win. Hoping we get a an in-game King Kong Bundy too, along with a few others we've been missing from the Golden Era. Was hoping to see a little about more customization options for arenas and shows too (especially for hanging banners and overall arena types).
The trading blow mini game and the ability to change camera makes the game look authentic!! 😊
Really needed the announcer's table updates, it was a pain trying to get the opponent onto them lol
10:52 now that is cool!
0:57 Charles Robinson! lol. It's Cool Now We Get An Actual Referees Rather Then Fake One Or John Cone In 2K15 xD
One thing i really want in Universe mode if a Superstar is injured before the Rumble. They can be a Surprise Entrant
This is going to be one of, if not the best wrestling game ever
Charles Robinson referee? Hell yeah! It would be funny if they brought in his iconic sprint down as an entrance or cut scene for him in universe mode. Probably not though. I hope either Mike Chioda, Jack Doan Teddy Long and Nick Patrick are in. One of those guys as well. Grew up with them since attitude era.

I'm 29 years old, every christmas morning around 7am I'd wake up to the new wwe game i'd open all my other present including other games and as soon as I was allowed to i'd sprint upstairs and go play my new wwe game, i fell out of love with wrestling as I grew up stopped watching and playing and have gotten the last few from 18 or 19 I think and im sure i got wwe15 on the cheap. Point being i've not been this excited for a wwe game since I was a child I think 2k have really did a great job with this one and I cant wait to buy it
The spectator mode is great for recording videos. No more highlight real screen recording without bg sound 😊
So, there is no hit detection with weapons like SVR 2011 (like if the ladder was on the ground and you suplex someone on there, they would directly land on the weapon and feel it)

Christ this looks beautiful. The ray tracing the shadows. This is the realism we have been looking for. The dynamic crowd is amazing.
Thank god they changed the referee counting animation
Trading blows and diving on multiple people are the 2 best features they could’ve added. More simulation and less arcade style please!
I really wish they would make some of the strikes feel more realistic and impactful like having a red and bloodied chest from taking chops.
I do wish throwing weapons would take out folks mid dive. That's the one thing I had hoped they'd add.
5:56 glad to see them in!
For me this is looking like a solid game for the year, feel like a kid seeing all these needed features! Thanks for Sharing Smack!

I like that the super finisher can also be a normal finisher that just deals more damage. Happy for that detail.
Is there any footage of diving on multiple people?
I’m glad to see that Ultimate Warrior and Rick Rude are included after all.. don’t know if blood has been updated
I wonder if promos are back

Your presentation of the 2k content really is the best. Like simple bullet points. Appreciate you! This game looks fun. Love the small details that are in the game. Those really give a game soul.
Do they still have pin escape thing where you spam A/X bc I don’t really like the timing thing idk if it’s just me
Is anyone else wondering how they will do super finishers with custom superstars, people who use top rope finishers, submissions, springboards and other unique moves?
you really deserve getting a hands on preview, I love keeping up with this channel while I play the games
I'd love it if you could put them through the roof of the ambulance with a super finisher

I agree. That's the only downside with the ambulance match in my opinion. Hopefully they that to the match in the future.
For me, cutting back and forth between match footage and gameplay in Showcase mode actually adds to my immersion and reliving the famous matches. 🤷♂️
Large amount of arenas? Please tell us is it mkre than 21 matches
does every wrestler have access to super-finishers, and can you set them to whatever you want?
It's sad to think that we won't be getting some of the best matches from the 40 years of Mania including TLC II, Daniel Bryan winning the title, the Women's title return triple threat match, and so many others.
Looks incredible! Thank you for this deep dive into these features! As a content creator on WWE2K games, the camera options will really help improve my shows.
Ive been waiting for so many of these features to come back so long
I've been asking for these features for years.
Also, in the UUDD video and some of the footage you showed, there are some new variations of the irish whip, like one you can do to an opponent while they're kneeling is so cool to me! Can't wait for this!
Now this is how you do a review! This is honestly the best review hands down and I want to say thank you.
The camera feature makes this a must get for WWE content creators.
Doing any move on announce table minigame trowing weapon more backstage element with more player and ability to change camera angle is the best gameplay features i love this game already cant wait for roster reveal
13:08 - Wait, so we get a choice on who we can play as in the showcase, as in we can create a different outcome for a showcase match?

Looks really good and polished 💯
So Super Finishers can also be moves that leave the ring? It makes Super Finishers a good substitute for OMG moments and allows a bit more freedom for matches where you're allowed to go outside. I wonder if Super Finishers have a ringside category in case you're out the ring or if it's in ring exclusive. I like the announce table additions as well. Gives them a bit more purpose besides something to break. Especially as Orton has moves using it like his back suplex and Vintage Orton DDT.
@stephenleblanc8993
4 ай бұрын
My interpretation is that a Super Finish is a match ending move. So if there was some to happen out of the ring, they could be something like a spear through the titantron to end the match. A simple back suplex to a table has never won Orton a match.

@stephenleblanc8993 The table thing is a separate comment. I know he doesn't win with it, but since they updated the announce table, it's something I'd like him to be able to do since it's been a signature move for a while. Super Finishers to the outside world be situational but could be nice for more freedom. Like Johnny Gargano could have the One Final Beat on the apron, or people could use the Suicide Spear as a Super Finisher.

Do you know if we will ever get titles in the rumble again? I miss putting up a title in the rumble.
How do switch what punches you throw in trade blows mini game
And that's why I always love your content Smacktalks, cause you always delivers the goods on Wrestling Games, you break down most of everything we fans always wanted to know or curious about. This really makes me can't wait to play this more I haven't felt like this in long time for a WWE games since the early days and I always get each WWE game traditionally that release each year too.
I need them to make those match sliders more intuitive, so we can adjust them appropriately. By default, guys were getting right up after taking a finisher in the previous game.
Is the system requirements same as the previous game?
Are you gonna be able to do Backstage Brawls online?
can u do the trading blows mini game while on top of the ambulance? 🤔 would be pretty cool
Nice to have a bunch of features that used to be in the games back.
Waht if we can also trade blows outside ring and even on ambulance or announce table
Beautiful improvements
How many matches will showcase have?
Where’s the apron led board in the royal rumble arena 🤨
Has the difficulty been enhanced regardless of the sliders? That's my question.
I like that they improved strike animations... It used to be slow and clunky, now it's a little quicker snap striking
Did they remove the breaker system. It seems all reversals are just Y or triangle
Brilliant video as always! Can’t wait to see the full roster reveal whenever that may be 🤔🤔
